THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

WASHINGTON. February 15.-Hon. Daniel
Manning, Secretary OF Treasury: Ny Dear
sir-Your formal letter of resignation which
/ have received, though not entirely unex.
pected, presents the reality of a severance
of our official relations, and causes me the
deepest regret. This is tempered only by
the knowledge that the frank and friendly
personal relations which have unbrokenly
existed between us are to still continue. 1
refer to these because such friendly rela-
tions supply after all, whatever of comfort
and pleasure the world affords, and because
feel it to be almost superflOuous to speak
OF the aid and support you haye given me
and the assistance you have furnished to
the administration OF the government dur
ing the time you have directed the affairs
OF the exacting and laborious office which
you now seek to surrender. Your labors,
your achievements, your success and
devotion to the public duty are fully
seen and known, and they challenge the
appreciation and gratitude of all your
countrymen. Since | must at last relin-
quish my hope OF your continuance at my
side as counsellor and co-laborer, and
since l cannot question the reasons upon
which your request to be relieved is based,
it only remains for me to accept the resig-
nation you have rendered and to express
my profound thanks for all that you have
done for me in sharing manfully my labors
and perplexities of the past two years. I
feel that may still ask you that the first
day of April next be fixed as the date at
which your resignation shall take effect and
that you will so regulate what remains to
you of official duty, in the meantime, as to
secure that measure OF freedom from vexa-
tious labor which you have so justly
earned. With the earnest hope that in
any new path OF life YOU NAV hereafter fol-
low there may be allowed to you more OF
comfort and OF ease than conscientious
discharge OF duty here permits, am very
sincerely your friend,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The President will nominate a successor
to Secretary Manning before the adjourn
ment of Congress, but the appointment will
not take effect, however, before April 1.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 16.-The snow
blockade on the Central Pacific. which was
expected would bs raised this morning con.
tinues. No mails were received herefrom the
East for the past three days. The blockade

Blue Canyon last night which permitted the
snow to accumulate at new place. 1t was
caused by the wreck Of q snow block and de-
railment ofeight engines which were engaged
in the clearing of the track. No one, how
ever, was seriously hurt by the accident. A
wreckine train has been sent to the scene
and Superintendent Fillmore expressed tie
